Terms
FACIAL MASKS: as per local mandate, no one will be admitted without a mask, which must be worn correctly at all times. Everyone entering must also have temperatures checked. Social distancing will be enforced at all times and the number of shoppers inside the house will be maintained by the security officer.
PRE-SELLS: we do not pre-sell items. We do try to answer questions up until the day before the sale.
SIGN-UP SHEETS: The sale starts promptly at 9:00 a.m. with no early entry or sales. Please stay on the premises once you sign ONLY your name to the sheet posted on the door. The first 50 people in line will receive numbers a few minutes prior to the start of the sale and the number of shoppers inside the house will be limited by the security officer.
PRICING: Everything will be full price as marked on the first day. Only workers may mark items sold; we do not use stickers from other sales. You must give your name and phone number for items to be marked sold. We do not change or haggle on prices. Everything is sold "AS FOUND."
RECEIPTS: The yellow copy of the sales receipt is the customer’s proof of purchase and will be checked upon exiting the sale. When paid items are to be picked up later, the yellow receipt must be presented. Everything must be picked up by 1 p.m. on the second day of the sale unless by prior agreement.
BIDS: Bids will be accepted between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and only on individual items that are priced $100 or more; all bids must equal or exceed 60% of the posted original price. Bids are sealed and WILL NOT be discussed or revealed with other customers and will be opened at the close of the first day of business; the highest bidders will be notified between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Unanswered calls may result in offering the sale to the next highest bidder. Items purchased by bid MUST be paid for and picked up by 10:00 a.m. on the second day of the sale or the item will be offered for general sale.
PACKING: We have very limited boxes, bags and packing materials; please provide your own. We reserve the right to inspect bags if necessary. Due to insurance regulations, workers are not allowed to pack or carry any items for customers. Movers are usually on site, but the price of tips, moving and delivery is solely between the customer and mover.
PLEASE NOTE: Sale locations are usually small and confined, so we ask that no baby strollers or large shopping carts be brought into sale locations. Most sales are in private homes which are not generally set up for handicap maneuvering. Customers enter locations at their own risk.
